Credential disclosure via process command-line arguments
Published Jun 1, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Insufficient credential protection in Piwigo Lexiglot through 2014-11-20 allows local users to read credentials via process listings. Lexiglot places the username and password directly in a child process's command-line arguments, where process-listing tools expose both values. Exploitation requires local access and visibility into the running process, and the direct consequence is disclosure of the supplied credentials.
